Last night, on the 100th edition of the Metal Injection Livecast, the frontman ofThe Dillinger Escape Plan, Greg Puciato called into the show as the special guest. During the conversation, Greg revealed the band is in the process of writing new material for what could materialize into either a new full length or an EP of tunes. Additionally, Greg revealed that he may once again collaborate with Max Cavalera on an entire record, similar to Max's work in Nailbomb. Greg also mentions he may work on new music with his other side projects Spylacopa and Error (which features Atticus Ross).
The entire interview can be heard as part of the Metal Injection Livecast, which is downloadableat this location.
Andreas is now claiming that it's "not impossible," but can't just be done for the sole purpose of a "reunion." Stating that it has to be done right. Further stating: "Max has been talking a lot about this reunion [in recent interviews], perhaps because his other bands, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY and SOULFLY, are not as good as SEPULTURA."
What it really sounds like, is a bad case of egos colliding (and dollar signs ultimately ruling). If a SEPULTURA reunion ever does happen. It'll probably end up being a very awkward one. How about we forget all this media back talk, and get excited about the new CAVALERA CONSPIRACY album instead.
Max Cavalera has been all over the media lately, talking about a possible reunion with the original Sepultura line-up, stating that he even spoke to former bandmate Andreas Kisserover the phone about the idea, which he was apparently on board with. And then in a recent interview with Sonic Excess, Max went on the record; stating that:
"the only person preventing it (A Sepultura reunion)is[Bassist]Paulo Jr."
The current line-up of Sepultura decided to put together a video before their headlining performance at the 16-year anniversary of the Manifesto Bar in São Paulo, Brazil. Where the band performed their classic 1991 album "Arise" in it's entirety. Clearing up all the rumors and putting any possibility of a reunion to sleep.
Andreas Kisser did all the talking, which seemed a little harsh, but he did send the message across, that the rest of the original Sepultura line-up (which is basically Andreas and Paolo Jr.) are happy with their recent deal with Nuclear Blast, and are currently working on a new record.
